Question

I was wondering if anybody knows the origin of the last name Cosay?

Answer 1

This is a likely explanation of the origin of the name Cosay, but unless you trace your lineage back, you cannot be certain about your family origin.

Cosey  Last name origins & meanings:

English: variant of Cossey.

Perhaps also an Americanized spelling of French Cossé (see Cosse).

Cosse  Last name origins & meanings:

French (Cossé): habitational name from Cossé-d’Anjou in Maine-et-Loire, Cossé-en-Champagne, or Cossé-le-Vivien in Mayenne, all of which are named with the Romano-Gallic personal name Cocceius + the locative suffix -acum.

French: from cosse ‘pod’, probably a nickname or perhaps a metonymic occupational name for a grower or seller of peas and similar vegetables.

Greek: unexplained. Possibly the French surname, or an Americanized reduced form of Costas or some other surname beginning with Cost-.

(Cossé is pronounced Cosay)
